The scientific process of measuring and determining the strength or concentration of alkali or alkaline substances.
From 'alkali' + Greek '-metry' (measurement). This noun emerged in 18th-century analytical chemistry as a specific branch of quantitative chemical analysis.
Alkalimetry became an essential technique during the Industrial Revolution because manufacturers needed to know exactly how strong their alkali solutions were for dyes, soaps, and glass-making—precision meant profit.
